Book Reviews of The Essential Barack Obama: Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope
Book Review: no unabridged available!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so disappointed that no unabridged audiobook version is available. I started listening to the abridged version and every little section I wish I heard the full details. The most amazing thing about the audiobook is that Obama himself reads the book and that even more impressive is that he wrote this book at the end of law school in 1994, before, well, you know the story....I love getting books and lectures in while I commute, but I'm afriad I'm going to have to read this one, though it seems like a good fast read!
Anyway, the audio books go really fast, and despite the fact that the abridged versions are missing content, this deficit is more than made up by the fact that Barack Obama reads them himself! In "Dreams from My Father", it is a whole lot of fun to hear Barack imitating the characters he writes about, either his irreverent colleague Rafiq or his sister or aunt from Kenya, when he goes to visit and where he finally finds out about his past inheritance, what he had been looking for and what inspired the book.
